For insurance agents managing multiple product lines—like health, life, Medicare, or personal insurance—keeping client information organized can feel like a full-time job. That’s where Custom Objects inside Agent CRM come into play.
Custom Objects allow you to create personalized data fields and records that match your business needs, giving you a custom-built filing system for every policy, coverage type, and customer interaction. Whether you’re a Medicare agent tracking enrollments or a life insurance agent keeping up with term policies, Custom Objects turn your CRM into a fully tailored experience.
✅ What Are Custom Objects?
In Agent CRM, a Custom Object is essentially a special data container that you can design to store information unique to your business. Instead of trying to force all your data into generic contact records, you create objects that fit exactly what you need.
For example:
- A Life Insurance Policy Object could store:
✔️ Policyholder name
✔️ Policy number
✔️ Effective date
✔️ End date - A Health Insurance Policy Object could hold:
✔️ Coverage type
✔️ Carrier name
✔️ Premium amount
✔️ Deductible amount
With Custom Objects, you’re building the CRM around your process—not the other way around.
✅ Step-by-Step: How to Create a Custom Object in Agent CRM
Step 1: Access Custom Objects
1️⃣ Navigate to Settings > Objects.
2️⃣ Click Create New Object.
Step 2: Name and Customize Your Object
3️⃣ Name the object to match your product, like Life Insurance Policy or Medicare Enrollment.
4️⃣ Add a display field name—this will act as the unique identifier for each record. Most agents use the Policy Number for this field.
5️⃣ Choose an icon and add a description (optional).
Step 3: Add Custom Fields
6️⃣ After creating the object, add fields that match what you need to track. For example, a Life Insurance Policy Object might include:
- Policyholder Name
- Effective Date
- End Date
- Carrier
- Premium Amount
Each field can be text, date, dropdown, or number—whatever fits your needs.
Step 4: Create Policy Records
7️⃣ With your object created, you can now add individual records each time you sell a policy.
8️⃣ Each record will be tied to a contact in your CRM, allowing you to see all policies linked to a client.
Step 5: Link Multiple Policies Together
9️⃣ If a client purchases multiple policies, you can link Custom Objects so that a single contact has both life and health insurance records attached to their profile.
🔗 This creates a complete picture of the client’s relationship with you.
